Actually, you're right. I enjoy the Turbodog. But I've had their wheat, among other varieties, and just hated it.

I just tried "Shackamaximum", an American imp stout from Philadelphia Brewing Company. I definitely enjoy it, but it pales in comparison to anything from Founders, or even Big Bear Black Stout. Still a solid beer

Finally had La Fin Du Monde on tap this weekend. Being that it's my favorite beer, of course I enjoyed it but it seemed like it was missing something. Not sure if it was a cleaner finish or if it was less carbonation. This might be one of the rare beers where I prefer it out of the bottle.

From the bottle: A+On tap: A

Grading might be subject to change if I find another place that has it on tap.

I was in Charleston, SC for a wedding over the weekend and squeezed in a tour of the local Westbrook brewery. I'd never heard of it, but went with a friend who's a local. They didn't have anything of their own that really stood out (not that their own brews were bad), but they were brewing something for Evil Twin brewing called Femme Fatale that was really good. It was an IPA with Brett yeast, so it tasted like a cross between an IPA and a saison. They didn't any ready yet, but Westbrook was also experimenting with a lot of barrel-aged stuff that looked interesting. Definitely an enjoyable hour or two, if you're in that part of SC.

Bought a mix case of Goose Island beers. I see now that Goose Island has been purchased by Anheuser-Busch InBev, and indeed the beers are from a A-B plant in New York. Still, they’re not bad at all. So far, the 312 wheat ale is crisp and refreshing (although a little lacking in those wheat-beer banana esters for my taste), and the IPA was pleasantly hoppy. I’ve yet to try the Honkers Ale or Summertime.
